Pro

Easier to undo edits

Pyramix keeps a log if which actions have taken place, so instead of seeing "undo action", users can see exactly which edits they are modifying.

Pro

Great for editing fades

The fade editor and cross-fade editor is a feature in Pyramix that is difficult to find in other DAWs. This editor lets users apply different envelopes to fades. This creates interesting effects for ambient sounds or clips that have been split and should fade in/out slowly.

Pro

Plays well with audio files

When importing an audio clip, Pyramix adjusts the tempo using a built in sample-rate conversion facility so that the clip will sound ideal.

Pro

Ultra low latency

Pyramix uses the audio engine MassCore, which allows the program to reach ultra low latencies.

Cons

Con

Only works as a master

When a clip or plugin is interacting with a DAW, the master controls tempo, while the slave's tempo is dictated by the master. Metro only has master capabilities, meaning that plugins or clips with a specific tempo will not sync correctly.

Con

Difficult to learn

Pyramix is feature rich and versatile, but this comes at the cost of a very steep learning curve.
